Bold Coast Camp Minutes from Acadia's Schoodic Peninsula

Bold Coast Camp is a quiet site on the village hill. This glamping gem is in walking distance to restaurants, passenger ferry, art galleries, shops, library, bank, post, farmers market and everyday provisions. Bike rental a few meters away from Bold Coast Camp can extend your travel through the village of Winter Harbor along coastal routes through Grindstone Neck, through the national park, and over to Prospect Harbor.

We are a 5 minute drive to the entrance of the Schoodic Loop of Acadia NP. A free, seasonal bus (search Island Explorer bus for schedule) picks up nearby and carries you about town and into the national park (entrance is less than a mile away). We are a 45 minute drive to Mount Desert Island/Bar Harbor. There is also a seasonal ferry within walking distance (about 5 minute walk) that takes you across Frenchman's Bay to Bar Harbor in 45 minutes. (May need a reservation for the ferry) It's a beautiful boat ride on a sunny day and you can often see porpoise and a variety of sea birds. The ferry generally runs into September. In Bar Harbor, you can hop on a free bus that will take you to Acadia and around town.

After a great day outdoors, return to the peaceful 5 meter bell tent, plenty of Berkey-filtered fresh water for drinking and clean, solar heated water for bathing. There is a Solo stove with plenty of kindling and a small bit of wood to start your evening (for long burns into the night please bring a roll of roadside camp wood). There is also a propane gas pit with comfortable chairs; a perfect setting for dark sky stargazing while wrapped in a cozy outside blanket. The tent sleeps two with a comfortable queen mattress made up with beautiful clean linens, outfitted for weather considerations and maximum comfort. A twin futon can be dressed as well for a third guest, or upon request. The portable toilet is close by, serviced weekly and for Bold Coast Camp guests only.

Amenities include:
Soft towels, complimentary bar soap from local Prospect Harbor Soap Company provided. Small library, cards, games. Small courtesy of tea, coffee bags and cocoa to start your morning. There is a Coleman stove, (small propane canister needed), tea kettle, cups, spoons, napkins. Available ice cooler. Picnic Basket/cooler bag with bread board, knife, plates, wine glasses, forks, napkins, tablecloth, and tea towels. Basket of first aid needs.

Within the tent, please find our camp catalog with local events, restaurants, rentals, boat trips, and more for your convenience. There are recycle and disposal barrels beside the garage with extra bags for your convenience when disposing of waste. The extra wrap will keep an invitation for critters low.

I would love to welcome you to spend a few evenings under the stars; waking to early birds songs, fog horns, and bells, seagulls and eagles circling and sea breezes filling your senses. I'm sure you will enjoy your stay at Bold Coast Camp.
